Louise Baldock was a Labour Councillor in the city of Liverpool for two terms, 2006 - 2014. This was her award-winning blog, written mainly as a councillor about issues affecting Kensington and Fairfield ward, sometimes as a politician, and sometimes simply personal commentary. Although she thought she might rekindle the blog after May 2015, she has now changed her mind and leaves this as an archive and record.

What an annoying story in the Liverpool Daily Post suggesting that Labour could now be enticed to Liverpool after the LibDems have had their Spring conference here.

I was a member of the Labour Party's National Executive Committee back in 2006 when we discussed bringing Annual conference to Liverpool in 2008. The conference organising team approached the city at that time but were told that there was no guarantee the conference centre would be ready in time.

We could have been here in Liverpool in September - and it is not Labour's fault that we are not!
